Brian Dempsey serves as Vice President, Sales and Distribution of Pave Securities, LLC, the wholly owned broker-dealer subsidiary of Pave Finance, Inc. He primarily oversees relationships across the Southeast, working with RIAs, family offices, independent advisors, and trust companies to bring Pave into their portfolio operations. He is motivated by helping advisors spend less time on the tedious mechanics of portfolio management and more time with their clients.

Prior to Pave, Brian began his career as an analyst at J.P. Morgan Private Bank in Washington, D.C. He then spent more than two years at Harbor Capital Advisors in Chicago, advancing from Business Development Analyst to Senior Business Development Analyst.

Brian holds a B.S. in Marketing and an M.B.A., both from Boston College's Carroll School of Management, where he played varsity baseball as team captain and remains the program's all-time leader in games played. He also holds Series 7 and Series 66 licenses. Outside of work, Brian is an avid golfer and a certified Long Drive instructor. He is based in Charleston, South Carolina.

What drew Brian to the firm was the larger goal of bringing institutional-quality asset management to the retail investor, and he sees Pave as the direction wealth management is heading. While his focus is the Southeast, Brian has taken on a broader strategic role as the firm has grown, helping shape how Pave approaches distribution and engages the advisor market more broadly.
